Short Films by Apichatpong Weerasethakul

Distinguished by their inventive mix of fiction and documentary modes, Apichatpong's short eccentric narratives sparkle with fleeting natural phenomenon, unplanned gestures, happy discoveries. The filmmaker embraced this poetry of the happenstance right from the start, as evidenced in Windows and fellow juvenilia in this series: Thirdworld (1997), Like the Relentless Fury of the Pounding Waves (1995), Malee and the Boy (1999).
